3 Mile Run + 6 mile walk + weights all before the family wakes up
This morning is wonderful! What more can I ask for? I forget sometimes how beautiful southern California is. One of these days I have to take my run to Newport Beach. Have too. And I want to do it before the sunrise. How beautiful is that? The first Pacific Ocean sunrise I saw was on my first date with my honey about 1 1/2 years ago. Just spectacular!
We got home early from watching Monsters vs Alien last night. It was my Nephew’s first so he was excited. The kids all had a great time. It was a really good movie. Just remember the word “Gi-normica”.
Got up really early to eat a banana. Then I went for a walk before the sun even came up. It is so peaceful in the morning. I was pleasantly surprise to see so many runners, joggers and walkers out there. I opted to do a very fast but fun 6 mile walk. I enjoyed every second of it. I may have eaten a few bug or two because there was a swarm of little critters near the train station. Extra protein right? :) Only downside to walking early and near the train tracks, the train swings by and there’s a ton of dust and debris that swirls my way.
Got home. Ate some more, slept for an hour then back to the gym I went. I did 1 hr of weights, then jumped on the treadmill. I did 3 miles at 6.0 - steady pace. I just let my heart thumpin techno mixes/house mixes and club mixes music on my IPOD carry me through.
Now I home, tired but feeling very accomplished!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Nothing feels better then getting every goal I set to come true.
It’s time for a shower and a nap.
We plan on taking the nephews and Rod’s son to the park. This is Rod son’s last week with us before he goes to Kenya for boarding school. Making the most of family time.
Holy macrol that’s great! Yeah, I hear ya about So. Cal, I lived most of my life out there and took the beaches for granted; now I live in Central TX and the closest beach is about 3 hours away.
Fantastic job!
What an awesome way to start the day!
Family time is most definately precious time 
Make it count! (((Hugs))) Trish

Congratulations girl!!! I am so jealous of the weather you California Girls have - in Wisconsin, it’s currently sleeting…YUK.
Geeze here it is a BLIZZARD. Yuck! I wish I could be in CA with you all!
Great job on the run/walking! Kama and I went on a hike, climbed up a mountain!! The weather was just gorgeous!! We made it all the way to the top and back down in about an hour!! We had to stop quite a few times because I kept loosing my breathe..
We both agreed we need to do it again though. Our goal is to be able to do it without stopping at all!!!
Awesome and you sure painted a nice pic!!! I want to run in California too!
